Summary

Essentia: Adult Sensible Rich in Duck and Rabbit is a dry cat food formulated for adult cats with sensitive digestive systems.

The primary ingredients are dehydrated duck (21%) and dehydrated rabbit (18%), providing high-quality animal proteins.

Dehydrated potatoes and dehydrated peas are included as carbohydrate sources, replacing traditional grains.

Animal fat is incorporated as a fat source, supplying essential fatty acids.

Additional ingredients, such as dehydrated apple pulp, enhance palatability and provide dietary fiber.

Including fructooligosaccharides (FOS), mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS), and a mixture of plant herbs and yeast products to support digestive health and overall well-being.

This formula is free from added dyes and preservatives, catering to cats with dietary sensitivities.

 

Pros:

  • High protein content: Contains 32% crude protein, supporting muscle maintenance and overall health.
  • Digestive support: Incorporates FOS and MOS to promote healthy digestion and balance intestinal flora.
  • Natural antioxidants: Contains a mixture of plant herbs and yeast products, which may offer antioxidant properties to support the immune system.
  • Low magnesium content: Contains 0.08% magnesium, which is beneficial for urinary tract health.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate fat content: A crude fat content of 15% may not be suitable for cats requiring a low-fat diet.
  • Potential allergens: Contains duck and rabbit, which could be allergens for some cats.
  • Crude ash level: Has a crude ash content of 7.2%, which is on the higher side and may affect palatability for some cats.
  • Sodium content: Contains 0.4% sodium, which may be a consideration for cats requiring a low-sodium diet.

How the score is calculated?

The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.

To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:

(1) Amount of protein (more is better)

(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)

(3) Quality and source of ingredients.

Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.

One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.

In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.

Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.

Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.

Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.

Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.

Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.

The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
